Welcome Geoff!

 

Please join the DAH in welcoming our new Administrative Aide, Geoff Tortora. You will find Geoff sitting in Joshua Kwassman‘s old spot, assisting with all of the things that Josh was so excellent at assisting with. Geoff is well on his way to becoming an expert Administrative Aide.

Originally from Providence, Geoff completed a BA in History at the University of Rhode Island before transitioning to New York in 2012, where he pursued an MA in Creative Writing at NYU Gallatin. A committed Queens resident, he enjoys craft beer, museums, and finding green space within the city. He devotes his spare time towards writing The Great American Novel, an accomplishment that’s surely only a few short decades away.

Exhibition by Professor Jules Lubbock, Historic and Sustainable Architecture in London

Professor Emeritus Jules Lubbock who teaches a survey of historical interiors at the Geoffrey and V & A Museum collections in our London MA program did an exhibition of the architecture of his ‘red brick university’– the University of Essex–for its 50th anniversary this weekend. See the guide here.

Jules Lubbock is an expert both on Architecture and Urbanism and on Italian Renaissance Art. His new book, Storytelling in Christian Art from Giotto to Donatello, (Yale 2006) explains how artists solved difficult problems in representing the biblical stories; it has received critical acclaim. The Tyranny of Taste (Yale 1995) explains how British architecture and design between 1550 and 1960 was shaped by economic and moral concerns. He is just beginning work on a sequel, Trashing Taste, covering the period since the Sixties from an international perspective. He is also co-author of a history of British architectural education, Architecture: Art or Profession (Manchester 1994). As architecture critic of the New Statesman and a speechwriter to the Prince of Wales he helped promote the policy of New Urbanism. He was Director of a major AHRB research project on the relationship between post-war architecture and ideas of personal identity –‘Concepts of Self in the Theory and Practice of Architecture and Town-Planning since 1945′ which was completed in August 2006.

 

Meet our Fall, 2014 Art History Writing Tutors!

Although the Arts and Science College Learning Center has offered subject-specific assistance in the past and continues to do so in biology, chemistry, math, languages and the like, in recent years our own Department has taken the lead in providing art history-specific tutoring to its undergraduates. The program kicked off in October 2008 and, according to our students’ feedback, has proven to be a great success.

Without exception, our tutors are all graduate candidates at the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU’s graduate art history program. A tutor is available in the Department of Art History on Mondays through  Thursdays, from 12.30 to 2pm. Students may see them on a walk-in basis.

This semester brings us two outstanding tutors:

 

Hannah Wong graduated from the University of Southern California with a double major in biology and art history. She is a second-year M.A. student at the Institute of Fine Arts specializing in Islamic Art. She recently returned from a trip to Israel and Jordan, where she conducted research in both Umayyad caravanserais and sculptures of the Crusader period. Hannah is also interested in the conservation of works of art and is currently an intern for a private paper conservation studio. Hannah is available this semester on Mondays and Tuesdays.

 

 

Andrew Farinholt Ward is a fourth year Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Fine Arts, specializing in Greek and Phoenician art and archaeology. Having graduated from Columbia University in 2010 with a double major in Art history and Classical studies, Andrew would complete a post baccalaureate year of study in classical languages before entering New York University’s graduate program. Andrew is currently writing his dissertation, which proposes a borderless approach to sanctuaries of the Western Mediterranean through a new theoretical lens. While focused largely on the study of the material record of the ancient Mediterranean, Andrew’s interests include reception of the Classical in Islamic and Christian Medieval art, colonial and postcolonial theories and their impact upon Art history, and the reconstruction of identity in ‘lost’ cultures. Previous conference presentation topics range from Hellenistic automata to Punic sacred dietary practices, and an upcoming paper at the AIA annual conference on the intersection of social identity and archery practices.   Andrew has assisted in the development of several art exhibitions, and has participated in excavations in Egypt, Italy, and Turkey. He now works as student supervisor at the Institute of Fine Arts’ excavations at Selinunte in Sicily. Andrew is available on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
